About the session
This event is for anyone interested in using Doughnut Economics with businesses.
DEAL will provide an overview of the key concepts and tools for aspiring practitioners. Existing practitioners from around the world - consultants, advisors and other change-makers - will also provide key insights on what they have learnt in using DEAL's tools to transform businesses.
It will be a 90 minute webinar on zoom. It will take place on 14 October at 10.30am UDT (US Eastern) / 11.30 BRT (Brazil) / 3.30pm BST (UK) / 4.30pm CEST (Europe) / 8pm IST (India).
A focus on transforming the deep design of businesses
The webinar will focus on the deep design (or enterprise design) of businesses. This is because Doughnut Economics calls on businesses to demonstrate how they are going to transform so that they will belong in a future that is regenerative and distributive. The answer is a journey into the deep design of business itself – explored through the Purpose, Networks, Governance, Ownership, and Finance of any business. Regenerative and distributive strategies, practices and ideas can be unlocked through such changes in business design, thereby helping to bring humanity into the Doughnut.
Using the Doughnut Design for Business tool
The Doughnut Design for Business tool sets out how businesses can engage with Doughnut Economics, and has a focus on enterprise design. This webinar will provide an overview of this tool, as well as insights from practitioners who are using it around the world to transform the deep design of businesses.
This session will include BSL and Portuguese interpreting.

Hi, I'm Anni. I am from Germany and now live on Vancouver Island, Canada. I studied Social Innovation at Breda University of Applied Sciences and currently work as the Living Systems Coordinator at the Nanaimo Prosperity Corporation. I joined the Doughnut Economics Action Lab to both learn from others and to share my personal journey as we launch the Living Systems Program in Nanaimo — the first and only city in North America to adopt Doughnut Economics. Our goal is to bing the principles from City Hall into the streets.
